How will Music
Therapy with Joyful Music help my child?
·
Music therapy sessions provide a safe environment by using familiar
songs, repetition, and imitation so your child feels comfortable to learn new
skills.
·
Our Board Certified Music Therapist uses musical elements, such as rhythm,
dynamics, and tempo, to stimulate and engage young children through all their
senses in developmentally appropriate ways.
·
Music therapy encourages both verbal and non-verbal communication
through interaction in structured musical activities.
·
Music therapy will motivate your child to actively engage in shared
music making with peers, while working on social skills, cooperation, and
communication.
·
Music therapy is a relationship between your child, the music therapist
and, you, which is designed to support the developmental needs of your child.
At Joyful Music, we know that the natural structure, consistency and lightheartedness of
music make it the perfect developmental tool for early childhood. Rhythm and
sound have a powerful impact on learning, making it easier to memorize. Singing
and memorizing songs is an important step to literacy. We have seen dramatic
changes in our students’ articulation, intonation and word phrasing. Music also
helps children to define social norms, such as taking turns and following
directions. Most importantly music is fun and makes learning more fun for
everyone.
